Wednesday's Verse - The Dragons' Rule of Law
This week’s verse moves from survivors escaping a planetary smashed by war to a fantasy poem about dragons coming to the aid of those they protect. It is taken from 366 Days of Poetry, a
collection of mixed-genre poetry released in 2016.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragons soar skyward,
Roaring vengeance to the
clouds,
Arcing overhead on
many-coloured wings,
Going to battle for reprisal
has been vowed
On the ogres, orcs and fey
lords who dare to serve the ice queen.
No creature in her service
Shall be by mercy spared.
Dragons are protectors;
Retribution shall be paid.
All who harmed the peoples and
lands under their care,
Gathered and destroyed shall
be
On whatever ground they stand.
No matter what their reason
for
Service to the queen,
Dragons have passed judgement,
Rallied all the land,
And none in queenly colours,
Going secret to her aid,
Or traitor to the dragon’s
cause
Need bother for mercy pray.
Swift is dragons’ judgement,
and the sentence has been laid.

collections at the links below - although there are plans to reissue them with
more genre-appropriate covers in the future. The third collection will be
released later in the year.
